'BradCast' 12/1/2022: (NatSec journalist Marcy Wheeler of Emptywheel on Oath Keepers guilty verdicts)
b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 A jury has convicted far-right Oath Keepers founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes and top lieutenant Kelley Meggs on charges of Seditious Conspiracy, and found them and three others guilty of felony Obstruction of an Official Government Proceeding, along with other charges related to their failed efforts to help Donald Trump steal the 2020 presidential election, block the peaceful transfer of power and overthrow the U.S. government on January 6, 2021. National security journalist MARCY WHEELER of Emptywheel.net explains what the guilty verdicts mean going forward for other upcoming sedition trials, and for others yet to be charged for the same felony crimes, such as Roger Stone, Alex Jones, and Trump himself. Wheeler also delves into topics related to the appointment of war crimes prosecutor Jack Smith as Special Counsel to oversee both the federal January 6 probe and the Justice Department's criminal investigation of Trump's theft of classified government documents, what may be in store for Republican members of Congress allegedly involved with the planning of the attempted coup, and much more. Also today: 11th Circuit Court of Appeals panel nixed the idiotic appointment of a Special Master by a Trump-appointed judge that slowed down DOJ's investigation of Trump's theft of classified documents. Trump-backed, losing Republican Senate nominee and former celebrity TV Doctor Mehmet Oz is apparently not welcome back on TV. Two longtime far-right GOP operatives, Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl, who were convicted in a robocall scheme to hoax voters with false election information, were sentenced to 500 hours of voter registration work in low-income neighborhoods."
